MI. Cleveland.


Mr.. CHARLES A. DANA is reported a
having said that Mr.. CLEVELAND vii
not only not go into the Democrats
National Convention OF next yea
backed by solid delegation from hi
own State, nor by majority OF tha
delegation, but cannot secure even ;
minority Of IL.
Mr.. DANA could not have con
suited his Judgment when he made
that declaration. He took coun
sci OF his prejudices. Mr.. CLBvE
LAND is reasonably sure, We presume,
of the support of the Democrats Of
New York State. II would be singular
il the man who obtained the vote Of
that State in 1884, when he was com.
parstively unknown and uninauentisl,
should be unable to obtain 1t In 1888,
when he will, in all probability, have
in his favor the reputation of success
full administration.
Mr.. DANA probably puts too high an
estimate upon the influence of the
custom-house officials and other Fede-
raj employees, and argues that because
Mr.. CLEVELAND will allow those em-
ployes TO neglect the performance of
their duties in order TO serve his per-
sonal ends, he will not have friends
enough to put him forward a second
time as the choice OF that State for
President OF the United States. But
Mr.. DANA reckons without his host.
His prediction will be falsifed and his
assumptions proved to be baseless. Mr..
CLEVELAND will probably be warmly
supported by the Democrats among the
Federal officials; but, whether he shall
be supported by them or not, he will
have friends enough in New York to
see to it that he shall be put forward as
the favorite of his own State in the
Democratic National Convention.
Mr.. DANA no doubt calculated that
his prediction would have at least some
influence in verifying itself. He ex-
pected his dictuni to operate to produce
the effect which he predicted would be
the result of entirely different factors.
He is wise above what is written. He
has overreached himself, and made it
patent that his wish was the father of
his prediction.
< 1t would be impossible, we take it.
for Mr.. CLEVELAND to secure the
Democratic nomination for President
il he should have the misfortune TO be
overslaughed in his own State. If
Governor HILL. should draw off even
half OF the Democrats, and divide
the New York delegation even
equally with Mr.. CLEVELAND, that
fact would operate powerfully to
consign the latter to retirement. This
is the effect which Mr.. DANA would
have his pretended predictions produce.
There is nothing in them.

New York Timesl
DIR. Leo Schuepp was before Judge
Donohue yesterday the complaint
| of his wife, Laura, who has begun an
action for limited divorce on the
ground of abandonment, claiming that
he was about to leave the State. Judge
Donohue required him TO furnish 81, 600
bonds as security, which he did.
Mrs. Schuepp says she first met the
Doctor in Buda-Pesth, Hungary, and
that after she had lent him $1,000,
by means Of which he was able to study
medicine, he married her in that city
in December, 1874. Thence, she says,
they went to Vienna, where, after
awhile, he abandoned her. She pro-
ceeded against him in the courts and
he was ordered to support her, but he
managed TO get away to Turkey,
whittier she followed him. Turkey be-
ing uncomfortable for him on account
Of her presence, he came to this country.
She followed him across the sea, found
out his whereabouts, and last July called
upon him in this city and re-
quested him to support her. or
at least TO pay her back the $1,000
she lent him during their court
ship. This, Mrs. Schuepp says, he
could easily do in instalments, for he
has an income of about $1,000 year.
After much solicitation he, in last No
vember, agreed to pay her IS week,
which, short time later, in sudden
burst of generosity, he raised to 80.
Soon, however, q reaction came, and he
refused to pay her anything. He has
kept his word. Mrs. Schuepp believes
that he is meditating journey to some
country, to which he hopes she will be
unable to follow him. Judging from
Mrs. Schuepp's success as detective
hitherto, the Doctor, if he hopes to es-
cape her, must find some means OF
reaching either the north or the south
pole, of planting himself in the in
nermost recesses of Captain Symmes's
hole.
